Re: [tor-talk] Senior US District Judge Leon Jordan rules against FBI in PlayPen case

[ITechGeek <ITG@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The way I read that, it didn't seem like a victory since the judge is still
allowing people to be prosecuted (granted some of them deserve it), but the
judge said the FBI needed a warrant in the local jurisdiction of the raids
and they didn't.
